When we were on our honeymoon we had some long talks about family traditions and ideas for our first year of marriage. We wanted to start some fun special annual traditions. Since our first Christmas we've had the tradition of making a fort a week or two before Christmas.... it's called Fort Christmas. So this year we built our special fort and added a new tradition to the mix...

I loved the idea of 12 Dates of Christmas (inspired by Rockstar Diaries). We each wrote down six small dates, mixed them up and sealed them! Each day we will have a small date to enjoy... they are simple things that will make these next twelve days extra special. I can't wait to open them each morning! xo. elsie
